Informational Cascades with Continuous Action Spaces

Game Theory and Information from EconWPA

Abstract: The recent literature on informational cascades has nurtured the impression that cascades can occur only if the action space is coarser than the signal space. In particular, it is sometimes claimed that with continuous action spaces cascades are impossible. In this note we present a simple counter-example showing that this conclusion is not necessarily warranted.
